A hand pump in the kitchen for non-potable water and a natural spring within 300 yards with excellent drinking water. There is a Porta-Potty behind the camp that is serviced weekly. A small changing area with a shower stall & vanity with drain for washing up. There is limited Hot and Cold water for shower and vanity.
This is located approximately 12 miles from Ellsworth and 30 miles from Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor. At mile 7.5 on the Downeast Sunrise Trail.

We had a wonderful time! We really only used the cabin to sleep. We were outside enjoying the beauty of Maine especially the great swimming. Our kids loved sleeping in the loft even though it got kind of hot up there. This is the perfect getaway spot if you are hoping to completely unplug!

Directions were a little confusing but the signs were very helpful! Overall an amazing stay with memories we will cherish forever. (My 11 year old niece caught her first big large mouth bass! 5lbs- 20 inches) Hosts have plenty of pots/pans etc for those little things you forget at home. Lots of games and extra blankets for cold nights. Extremely grateful for an unforgettable weekend with family and friends in a beautiful location. Thank you and we will definitely be back!

I stayed 3 nights with my former college roommates and we had a great time. Relatively close to Acadia so we made day trips there every day. The property was very peaceful and maintained, equipped with firewood, kayaks, and a canoe which allowed for a great time. The weather was not ideal however, with a tropical cyclone hitting saturday night into sunday morning which was an unreal experience. We believe the cloud coverage didn’t allow the water for the shower to heat up, so we weren’t able to take warm showers the whole time, not a big deal though. Caught a pickerel and a largemouth bass in the pond. The stars were really nice to view the one night the sky wasn’t cloudy. We’d rate the property 5/5.

We absolutely loved the property. The cabin had everything we needed, and the location on the lake was breathtaking. I awoke every morning to the sun rising and would just go sit by the lake and watch the sky change. We took the canoe out multiple times, hung a hammock and napped by the water’s edge, and enjoyed many outdoor meals and evening fires. If this place was closer than 15 hours from home we would be staying here as much as possible. Even given the distance, I can’t wait to come back!

My stay at Point Camp was absolutely stunning. The grounds were well kept and the cabin fit all the needs I could have wanted! I used the property as my housing location for a week of hiking in Acadia. Close to the park and to food/grocery store needs. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
